Meet your Moderator, Shulim
As parents, we live in the real world, and we need realistic ideas – not a list of additional jobs. With Hashem’s help, you can make your home the way you dreamt it. Parents carry a lot, so they are relieved when they walk out of our meetings with ideas that are simple, immediate, and powerful. If you find the “behavioral” approach ineffective or hard to follow, this might be because the child is reacting to stress in the family.
When you discover and meet your child’s deepest needs, difficult behaviors become unnecessary. Often, you can make change happen very quickly. I need both parents’ involvement for this process to work.

Whether it’s managing expectations, maintaining shalom bayis, or balancing multiple responsibilities, you’ll find practical solutions and understanding support. Our group combines Torah wisdom with contemporary relationship insights, helping you become the husband and father you aspire to be.
Through structured discussions, skill-building exercises, and shared experiences, you’ll develop new perspectives and practical tools for enhancing your marriage and family life. You’re not alone in this journey – join other like-minded men who are committed to growing as husbands and fathers while maintaining their religious values and traditions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Aetna

Absolutely. We will discuss our options for video chatting platforms so we can choose the most secure one available. As with in-person sessions, your counseling sessions will always be confidential and private.
Just like many people do not like other forms of counseling, some people do not prefer teletherapy. Some people will prefer meeting with a counselor in person, which is completely understandable. As mentioned, we want our patients to feel comfortable and happy with their counseling sessions.
Yes, children under the age of 18 can attend teletherapy sessions. A parent or guardian will need to be present at times, and will need to consent to the treatment. Once the guardian has consented to their child speaking with us digitally, we can meet with the child for sessions.
